Official website -> http://thefuelfilm.com/ Gas Prices, Gas Gouging, Peak Oil, Elasticity, Supply Demand .. ---- "Architecture And Design" by: "amb26" http://amb26.com/ Thesis: So what do I make of Peak Oil, of this slowly unfolding disaster? Yes, everything will change... Again. My father couldn't even understand what I did for a job. My grand father couldn't even understand what my father did for his job. Everything is "always" changing. The screaming idiots out there are the fools who believed that the world has "ever" stood still. We'll adapt. I am going to introduce you all to a vastly under appreciated multi-media work: "The Oral History Of Modern Architecture" by: "John Peter" ISBN: 0-8109-3889-0, which combines a profusely illustrated book with a CD. I am also give you the URLs to some free podcasts (F_R_E_E, even poor stoonts can afford free,) such as: AIA (the American Institute of Architects,) Architecture Knowledge Review http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=160877729 [Architecture] On The Air http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=152487730 KCRW's Design and Architecture http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=73330703 Architecture ---- "Dancing to Arcitecture" by: "Tris McCall" http://www.myspace.com/tmccall Synthesis: Unlike most of these "The Sly Is Falling" alarmists, I don't see this as a great emergency. Over the next fifty years we will see a lot of changes. If only because almost nothing currently built will still be standing in fifty years and most certainly be rubble in a hundred years. Whether they're changes that we want / need or they're changes that kill us, only time will tell. But the advantage of getting even a passing acquaintance with architecture is that you'll see what the architects will be proposing as things get moving. Right now, they're laying off everybody. The economic melt down is a blessing in disguise. The current crop of employers, outfits like Gensler, URS, HOK, HKS Inc, Perkins+Will, Skidmore Owings & Merrill to name a few, are going to be quite surprised at the creative energy that's actually being unleashed.

Of course, the concentration camps of the Nazis had their own architects too.

Mon, 2 March 2009 msb-0352 Lets see how this helps.intro Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast. It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- I have a quick and easy, painless and not too figgin' nosy customer survey that I really, really, really need you to go and fill out. You can go to my podcast "page" [ http://msbpodcast.com/ ], click on the button on the left hand side of the page and anonymously answer a few simple questions. I really need this. ---- Feedback comes first, so... Well I am much calmer this week. (Yes, I think the msb podcasts are becoming a weekly features, mixed in with the disability show, the thyme warp and peak oil podcasts.) I'm too old, too sick, too tired and too wise to put up with the intersine warfare otherwise known office politics sucking the joy out of my life. I left the kids to it. If they think it important and worth keeping score, I wish them luck. But I've noticed that they're no different from their 'rents, when all they know how to do is say "you can't" "you shouldn't" and "Don't". Life belongs to those who seize it. The nay sayers just hold smoke. You can make any case you want for not spending the trifling sums, and argue 'till the cows come home, but I'm podcasting to a whole bunch of people and they're not. One of us is smart, and ... Well, you can finish that sentence yourselves. ---- "Water From The Well" by: "Bill Kahler" http://billkahler.com/ Feed Forward comes next, so... This is "your" segment. Say "your" piece on this segment. Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share. Drop us an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com" ---- "another farewell" by: "carmichael" http://www.carmichaelmusic.co.uk/ Feed Me comes third, so... I am not even bothering anymore. These shows are my gift to you. Enjoy my demented rantings. ---- "The Well" by: "Soma Sonic" http://www.somasonic.com/ "Thesis:" I'm sitting here still feeling the loss of my mother. We had to open up a safe deposit box that we've since discovered that she still owned when she'd gone into a home. (A polite euphemism for "we parked her somewhere safe until the inevitable". [I don't kid myself, I was a horrible son, but I was the son she raised me to be.]) Its depressing and my eyes are almost watering. Its been months since she died but the strange sense of forever being cut adrift on a wider sea still makes it hard for me to breathe. I am my mother's son after all... But that's not what the topic of the next few (2) shows are going to be about. These shows concern venture capitalism. ---- "Everything Is Swell In Weehawken" by: "Jim Testa" http://www.myspace.com/jimtesta "Synthesis:" Its very strange the attachments we form and the ties that we bind ourselves up in. When we techies get in bed with venture capitalists we are basically signaling that "they", meaning the venture capitalists, can make a lot of money in this podcasting racket. But podcasting is not a place with broad base appeal by definition. Oh it might be enough for me to make a living, eventually, but I'm hardly going to be selling beer to the masses. (Ok ... "Pacifico Clara" which is a great tasting beer, and I'd say that even if they paid me. [In fact, I've got in touch with them to tell them about podcasting.]) By definition, its a place where a lot of work is going to go into supporting a few podcasters for small, but quite measurable, results. I'm no Leo Laporte with thousands of fans who tune into the podcasts and swamp the sponsor's sites with click-throughs. Actually with the .m4a formatted files I use for these shows, I can take you to a specific web page in your browser or even launch your email client to possibly send an email to whoever would like you to send them a email. Its really connected and it works with iTunes on Macs, on PCs, it works with iPhones, iPod Touches and it can even give you more information on a lowly stand-alone iPod. If you're a musician, its great that I could bring you to a web site where you could buy the tune your hearing. If I'm discussing something, I can put links to web pages filled with more information on the topic. If I'm mentioning a product, I can put links to that too. ---- "Well Run Dry" by: "Juneteenth" http://www.myspace.com/juneteenth "Conclusion:" No, venture capitalists won't take any notice of podcasting because they don't see the ROI in it for them. But podcasts are for a self-selecting audience, tailor made for makers of anything, producers of anything, that serves the audience's constellation of needs, people who want the answer to the old conundrum of not being able to advertise in print because its too expensive when they can even find a magazine that fit their demographic. The "newspaper death watch" site is just filled with opportunities. The print version of the "Bataan Death March" happening right now is the inevitable consequence of companies establishing their presence on the web and being able to eschew print advertising. That tells me that their rates of return on the web are acceptable when compared to print advertising. Not great ROI, but acceptable at getting the word out, (something where podcasting could/should/would help,) and with answering their customers and potential customers in ways that print media advertising never could. Say goodbye print. ---- "TREAT YOU WELL" by: "steph" http://myspace.com/stephandshwepp Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "Water From The Well" by: "Bill Kahler" http://billkahler.com/ album: "none" via: music.podshow.com "another farewell" by: "carmichael" http://www.carmichaelmusic.co.uk/ album: "none" via: music.podshow.com "The Well" by: "Soma Sonic" http://www.somasonic.com/ album: "none" via: music.podshow.com "Everything Is Swell In Weehawken" by: "Jim Testa" http://www.myspace.com/jimtesta album: "none" via: music.podshow.com "Well Run Dry" by: "Juneteenth" http://www.myspace.com/juneteenth album: "none" via: music.podshow.com "TREAT YOU WELL" by: "steph" http://myspace.com/stephandshwepp album: "none" via: music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: go to by books page at http://msbpodcast.pbwiki.com/BookRecommendations ---- Links: Guy David - intro & theme http://www.guydavid.com iTunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ iPodder http://www.ipodder.org/directory/4/ipodderSoftware A.K.A.

Disclaimer! Disclaimer! This show is "not" any kind of a medical show /podcast. It is by and for the disabled, and if we can help reach across the chasm of questions and indifference to the other side of the rainbow of ability ... well and good. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disabilities. The path to disability is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- "Healin Hands" by: "The Coggs" http://www.thecoggs.com/ We got PSAs: ---- Campus Safety urges students, faculty and staff to sign up for text alerts, online @ spc.edu/alerts This will be used to inform students, faculty and staff in an emergency. This was useful last year in the bomb scare. To sign up, students must know their Spirit ID # (Bring their Saint Peter's College ID.) ---- Here's a proper, honest to goodness, real promo. :-) Promo_WSPC_PeacockNation2008/12/05 ---- Cross-promo with Pauwwow.com ---- Intro Its midterms which means don't expect too much. I got to prepare for a public speaking class and cram stuff into my head and its not as easy as it once was. ---- "Healing Ground" by: "Wishbone Ash" http://www.eaglerockent.com/eaglerockUSA/media_detail.php?media_id=731 Thesis: As we get older, our memory changes. Both the storage and the retrieval of memories. It probably has something to do with the hippocampus as it lapses into senescence. ---- "Made To Heal" by: "Love = Action" http://www.myspace.com/loveequalsaction Synthesis: Storage of memories is something that happens when the hippocampus detects the need to shift impulses from short term process memory to long term structural memory. Don't ask me what, when, where, how or or why. There's easily a couple of dozen doctoral dissertations and a few Nobel prizes awaiting whoever solves those puzzles. The indexing mechanism seems to to be as close to holographic as we can get but the actual quality of the memory seems to degrade over time. Oh, the problems with trying to do the same things, the same feats of monastic memorization that used to come so easily when I was young, I still have crud in my head from when I was a kid. The buildings I used to play in, the building I used to read comic books in, the buildings I used to have sodas in are no longer standing but I still recall the pattern of the tile floor on the way from the front door to the left side of the store where they kept the comic books. I sill have stored memories of going from our balcony to the next one where my friend lived without touching the ground, two stories below. And the guy died years ago. ---- "Heal" by: "David Martinez" http://www.davidmartinezmusic.com/ Retrieval is yet another area which on an old fashioned map would be labeled "terror incognita". The indexing mechanisms which enable the incredible feats of remembering the dusty, bleached wood look of the board I used to stretch across the space between balconies al those years ago, must be interfering with my adding new memories at some point. And that's why you're getting an abridged version of the show. The crap I have to get into my head in fact runs counter to the ways I learned to cope with being a software developer, and a testing manager. I have in fact learned to scan and I read by exception. Things don't stick to my conscious unless they're "NOT" what I'm expecting to see and read. ---- "Love Crash Heal" by: "SOULAR" http://www.soular.us/ Conclusion: Oh my achin' head. ----"Heal This World" by: "Pato Banton" http://www.patobanton.com/ Outro The show notes, incuding the complete text of this episode, and any and all links to the artists featured, are on a server ... somewhere. And this show is also being podcast in m4a format, which means that it you use a compatible player, like iTunes, you get the content divided up into chapters with images and "hot links" to the the web, on the topic of the chapter or to accompany the music. I might acknowledge receipt of your emails but don't expect intelligent responses for a while.

msb's The Disability Show
From iTunes:
"As a newly diagnosed MS'r I was so pleased to find a podcast that didn't just center around information about a bleak future.
I'm trying to retain a sense of humor here... and relaxation plays an important part.
Thank you Charles, for what must be an exhausting venture for you. I'm with you all the way !!!"
